Here are pics of the different modes of transport I came across and some which I personally had the experience of taking during my trip in Egypt. Seriously, I have never taken so many modes of transport before in all my previous trips!

Here, you have your usual car (a clean one!). Just wanted to show you the parking system. If you don't put enough money into the parking meter or don't come back in time, you'll find that you'll be unable to drive your car away. They have this mechanism built into the road that will rise and block your way out!Public Tram Bus (Note the local guy who's squatting!)Tour buses

Taxi (the yellow and black colour reminds me of Malaysian taxis of yesteryear)Taxi VanAnd my most scary ride of all, sitting in a no door taxi van!!!

Don't they feed their horses...the poor fella was beyond extreme emaciation. The device to "lock" in a car for failure to deposit sufficient $ for parking is ingenious! But i can see myself tripping over such a contraption! great pics, my friend. -- mp

Precious P, Joe, Henry : Well, is similar...but if I was riding a tut tut, I'll be prepared. This was a van with no doors. Try to imagine being driven in a foreign land with traffic zipping by at night in a van with no doors??? It's a different feeling.

Jackson : You'll starve from the lack of variety of food. LOL

Jason : Hahaha...yeah. Hmm...go to Ipoh not to see taxi lo, go there to EAT! ;P

Team BSG : Hahaha..Thanks for the award!

vkeong : I had just brighten or darken the pics. Didn't do anything else. Thanks for the compliment.

A feast, everyday : Yah, some horse were skinny and some were healthy. Not all were skinny.

Cokeworld Citizen : Yeah, the water is definitely cleaner than our Malaysian river. Didn't sit helicopter hahaha...got aeroplane, went there with Emirates :)

ai wei : Thanks...transport documentary??? :o)

Jo : Hahaha...I see what you mean about Malaysia and opportunities, hahaha.

jessica : Oh, sadly...we were told not to go on the rides. We were told of stories where after some tourists got on, they were asked for some exorbitant amount before they are allowed to get off the camel!
